View from the Sugarloaf mountain

The Favella

From the hotels roof terrace...at the copa...copacabana  <3




Ipeanema Beach :)

View from the Sugar Loaf Mountain at sunset


At the top of the favella, our friend lives here, its one of the biggest favellas in south america, the only way to get up all the windy street built into the hillside is on a motorbike taxi, first time on a motorbike...AMAZING
Because we were with our friend it was fine and their cleaning Rio up because of the world cup in a few years so she said they are getting rid of all the criminals and drug dealers from the favella's so they are safer now but still some of the states of the some of the places

Christ the Redeemer Statute, took 5 years to put together

Sunning it on Copacabana beach


One cable car short of the Sugar Loaf Mountain




Spent the last 4 days of the holiday in Rio, the guys went back to BA so it was a lil girly holiday for us, absolutely loved it, one of my favourite places ive ever been
Load of rubbish that is dangerous, felt so safe there, maybe because we looked kind of local, because everyone in Argentina thinks we are Brazillian,
